Periodontal regeneration and FGF-2
نویسندگان
چکیده
Periodontal diseases are highly prevalent inflammatory diseases that lead to a destruction of tooth-supporting tissues, such as the periodontal ligament, alveolar bone and cementum, and ultimately result in tooth loss. Conventional treatment for periodontal diseases is the mechanical removal of the periodontal biofilm, which although effective in reducing inflammation in lesion sites, dose not allow regeneration of lost tissues. Therefore, it is important that new therapeutic procedures that encourage the regeneration of periodontal tissues destroyed by periodontal disease will be established. In recent years, the efficacy of topical application of recombinant cytokines for periodontal regeneration has been investigated. This review focuses on the biological activities of FGF-2 in promoting periodontal tissue regeneration. Rec.4/7/2012, Acc.7/22, pp72-77

Periodontal regeneration by FGF-2 (bFGF) in primate models.
We recently demonstrated that a topical application of basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF-2; bFGF) to alveolar bone defects in beagle dogs enhanced periodontal regeneration. The purpose of this study was further characterization of the biological effects of FGF-2 in non-human primates. Thirty-two inflamed furcation class II defects were surgically created in 4 male primates. The gelatinous car...
متن کاملAction Mechanism of Fibroblast Growth Factor-2 (FGF-2) in the Promotion of Periodontal Regeneration in Beagle Dogs
Fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2) enhances the formation of new alveolar bone, cementum, and periodontal ligament (PDL) in periodontal defect models. However, the mechanism through which FGF-2 acts in periodontal regeneration in vivo has not been fully clarified yet. To reveal the action mechanism, the formation of regenerated tissue and gene expression at the early phase were analyzed in a be...
متن کاملPeriodontal Tissue Regeneration Using Fibroblast Growth Factor -2: Randomized Controlled Phase II Clinical Trial
BACKGROUND The options for medical use of signaling molecules as stimulators of tissue regeneration are currently limited. Preclinical evidence suggests that fibroblast growth factor (FGF)-2 can promote periodontal regeneration. This study aimed to clarify the activity of FGF-2 in stimulating regeneration of periodontal tissue lost by periodontitis and to evaluate the safety of such stimulation...
متن کاملPeriodontal regeneration with 0.3% basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF-2) for a patient with aggressive periodontitis: a case report.
This case report describes the clinical efficacy of treatment with basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF-2) for periodontal regeneration. A patient with aggressive periodontitis participated in a clinical trial involving administration of 0.3% FGF-2 in comparison with a placebo control. To evaluate the efficacy of FGF-2, standardized radiographs were taken before surgery and at 12, 24, and 36 wee...
متن کاملBeta-tricalcium phosphate and basic fibroblast growth factor combination enhances periodontal regeneration in intrabony defects in dogs.
The combined effect of beta-tricalcium phosphate and basic fibroblast growth factor was observed in the regeneration of periodontal tissue in dogs. For this purpose, either beta-TCP and FGF-2 (beta-TCP/FGF-2 group) or FGF-2 alone (FGF-2 group) was applied in intrabony defects. The control group received beta-TCP alone. The tissues were histologically examined at 2, 4, or 8 weeks following treat...
